An increasing number of companies are bringing generative AI into the modernization of aging core systems. Even when design documentation is unavailable, AI can decipher source code and identify business logic. Cases are also emerging in which analysis on a scale that would have been unrealistic by hand is completed in a matter of months. Kakuyasu, a liquor wholesaler, is one such company. Its core system, which had operated for 30 years, had fallen into a

Boyu Capital and IDG Capital led the funding round, and existing shareholders Tencent, HSG (formerly known as Sequoia China), ZhenFund, and others also participated. The AI company said it will continue hiring both at home and abroad. Manus did not disclose its valuation, but last month was said to be in talks with investors to raise $500 million at a $4 billion valuation. Manus, which went viral following a demo of its AI agent last year, relocated its st

Goodfire, a startup focused on interpretability (figuring out how AI models work internally), launched a cheaper option on Thursday: monitors that watch what’s happening inside an AI model as it works, rather than just reading what it writes. The monitors are available to customers of Baseten, which hosts and runs AI models for other companies. Baseten’s Base Labs announced a safety partnership with Goodfire and the AI platform Hugging Face last month. The

The startup was founded by Carlo Edoardo Ferraris, who previously founded tech accessories company Rolling Square. After years of building consumer hardware, he became convinced that rapidly advancing AI needed a new kind of interface that lets people ask for what they want the way they’d ask a person. The idea behind Interface is to help people look up from their phones while getting everyday tasks done more quickly and naturally. At launch, the ring will

The move comes as AI tools have been moving beyond being just conversational experiences to those that can take ownership of assigned tasks, generate code, schedule meetings, book appointments and travel, and more. It also follows the rise of consumer-facing agents like Meta’s Muse and those that operate over messaging, like Instinct and others, as well as the recent debut of ChatGPT’s Dots. The company still has a good shot at achieving scale for its agen

Google opens Android development to third-party AI agents and unveils new Gemini APIs Maximilian Schreiner View the LinkedIn Profile of Maximilian Schreiner Oct 28, 2026 Nano Banana Pro prompted by THE DECODER Key Points Google is opening its Android Studio development environment to more than 40 external coding agents like Claude and Codex via the "Bring Your Own Agent" feature, while expanding terminal tools to cut down on development time and token usag

Google Deepmind releases Gemini 4 Carbon just two weeks after Argon with gains across the board Matthias Bastian View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Oct 28, 2026 Key Points Just two weeks after Gemini 4 Argon, Google DeepMind released Gemini 4 Carbon, its next frontier model. Carbon tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5 with 59 points, up from Argon's 50. Google says Carbon is built for multi-day, autonomous development workflows. It

To get ahead of this problem, American Express is introducing a new framework designed to capture and authenticate a customer’s purchase intent before an AI agent completes the transaction. The idea is that there should be a way to ensure that the customer’s purchase instructions are carried throughout the transaction lifecycle, Amex says, from the purchase to everything that follows. Dubbed the “Intent Intelligence Framework,” the company hopes it will be

Paris-based Mistral releases "Le Chonk," a strong coding model that still trails China overall Maximilian Schreiner View the LinkedIn Profile of Maximilian Schreiner Oct 29, 2026 GPT-Image-2 prompted by THE DECODER Key Points Mistral has released the weights for Large 4 ("Le Chonk"). The model has about one trillion parameters, 52 billion of them active, and can run on your own hardware under a modified MIT license. In independent benchmarks, the model doe

OpenAI's isolated AI agents found ways to talk to each other through CPU cache Matthias Bastian View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Oct 24, 2026 Nano Banana Pro prompted by THE DECODER Key Points After a security incident in September, OpenAI now trains its most advanced models without internet access, using a closed offline environment built from cached data. In security tests, isolated AI agents still managed to set up covert communication chan

OpenAI can't yet explain why its coding agents switch off misalignment monitoring Maximilian Schreiner View the LinkedIn Profile of Maximilian Schreiner Oct 21, 2026 GPT-Image-2 prompted by THE DECODER Key Points Two internal OpenAI coding agents weakened or completely removed safety monitoring mechanisms on their own. One model turned off alerts to humans, while another deleted the monitoring entirely and then denied doing it. OpenAI sees the behavior as

Founded in 2024 on the basis of research done in Macquarie University in Sydney, the Australian startup deploys thousands of AI agents that masquerade as innocent victims. The agents can answer scam calls, respond to shady messages and emails, follow phishing links, and join social media groups to bait fraudsters. They pretend to be people of all stripes, sporting different ages, genders, and accents, and speak various languages as they try to keep scammer

The company debuted a new feature called Figma Specs, which is a markdown editor that lets users define their design language in a simple way. The document can serve as a reference for teams and agents while designing in Figma. Specs can exist as a standalone file in Figma or can co-exist within the canvas. Apart from acting as a text editor, users can reference other Figma elements, such as elements on the canvas, and embed FigJam diagrams, code layers, a

“That’s where it becomes magical,” Scaringe said onstage. Scaringe didn’t say when Rivian would implement this, and the company declined to offer more details, pointing instead to the “AI & Autonomy Day” event it’s hosting in December. But it’s not hard to imagine how Rivian might integrate something like Claude, OpenAI’s Dots, or Meta’s Muse assistant into its software. The company has developed its in-car software from the ground up, instead of leaning o

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) said it had received “multiple voluntary disclosures from AI model providers” whose models, during research and evaluation runs on the open internet, “had reached the live systems of Indian organizations.” The agents got in through credentials and connection settings left exposed in app configurations, public code repositories, and overly permissive cloud roles, and their actions “exceeded the authorisa

The Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is a large, 120-billion-parameter model geared for agents used by the enterprise. While it uses fewer parameters than the Nemotron 3 Ultra model, Nvidia says it can deliver similar accuracy in instruction-following and tool-use tasks. At the other end of the spectrum, the company also launched two lightweight Bolt models. These are intended to run locally on the new AI PCs (running the Nvidia RTX Spark chip) and workstations runni

One such solution, called “dumbtv,” describes its mission on its GitHub page thus: “Your TV should do what you paid for: your apps, your HDMI inputs, and nothing else. No ads from the TV itself, no watch tracking, no update you did not ask for.” Another, “cleanyourtv,” promises to strip the bloatware from any Android TV or Google TV over Wi-Fi, to replace the launcher with one that resembles Apple TV.
